Did you really set him straight ? I like reading his post actualy, then too I stop in at the local ward of the hosptital lol Keep up the good work !

As far as this thread goes who knows where its going to end, either way I am learning something and that is always a good thing !

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat. (President Theodore Roosevelt)

Ummm, that would be THIS thread.

Originally posted by BamaCracker OK, you are not only an idiot, but a liar as well. I have read every word in this thread twice, at NO POINT did you state you used 95º as a base line. Also, I told you before you threw the gauntlet down I lived in Oklahoma, and again before you did your so called "100% right" guesstimate. Now you want to claim you never knew I lived in Oklahoma?

Now, to your baseless remark that

Originally posted by fat eddy 450 cfm per ton is a dew point of 56

With over 200 known variables affecting dew point, how can anyone (rocket science or not) throw out a remark like that? Dew point is a relationship between RH and coil temp. Coil temp is a function of refrigerant mass flow, mass flow of air, latent and sensible heat content of air, surface area of coil fins, velocity of air, Reynold's number of air as it passes the fin, and many other less robust variables. But apparently you can reduce it to a poorly worded sentence that applies to everyone?

So, if I post certified laboratory data showing a dew point of 75 at 450 cfm, will you eat my shorts? Or will you claim you didn't know we were talking about air?

Don is someone ho can ruin your internet day, or make it a real good one. Depending on how you address Don and his suggestions, he can be a friend or a foe. If you treat Don in the same condescending manner that you've been treating a lot of others here, you'll find yourself in deep doodoo.

Don has magical powers on this site that can cause bad things to happen hen you attempt to visit this site, after suffering his wrath.

BTW, he rarely uses the name "Don" when dealing with problems on this site, but you'll know ho he is once you meet him.

I warned you that this wasn't the hill to die on, but you keep on keeping on. I pray that you don't anger the Powerful Don, and get sent to a very bad place.

I'm being serious. You're begging for trouble. This often happens when brand new members come aboard and post too much without learning how this site works.

Be careful, fat eddy. You're not the first one to try and walk down the dark alley that you're heading down right now.

I feel tht anyone that beleives that there is 200 variables in predicting a wet bulb temperature in the tolerances that we work at,is filling up his mind with unecessary knowledge, now this would not be a problem for someone with enough capacity to carry all of the necessary stuff with it, but in others unlike myself and more like the author it would be an amazing burden to lug around all that useless knowledge.

Now I counted in the thread that I did refer to 95OA four times. You must have missed those parts.

But that is not my point,

One other point that you missed or assumed was that I meant for 900 cfm to cross the coil, the intention was to have a blower with the capacity to move 900 cfm at a normal external static pressure, something you will not have in that home due to the cofiguration of the ductwork. The net result would have been the typical 800cfm approx.

Ok I am finished with it, I think that was the last nail in Bama's coffin, gees o man adding temperature to inflate the load calc, that sums it all up for me, and since I would like to continue on the site I will let it rest.
